Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided November 14, 1974PublishedCited by 71 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtReardon, J.
The defendant was sentenced to the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Concord following his convictions before a judge and a jury for possession of a hypodermic needle and three syringes, and possession of heroin with intent to distribute it. He had filed a motion to suppress prior to trial which was denied, and the sole issue is whether there was error in the court’s action. The appeal is here under the provisions of G. L. c. 278, §§ 33A-33G.
Following the hearing on the motion to suppress, the judge made extensive findings. We summarize the evidence which the judge could have found.
